Outreach & Dissemination

OUTREACH ACTIVITIES

​The results obtained during HETMAT projects were presented at a local art exhibition/competition called ''Majski Salon'' in Ljubljana. The exhibition is one of the most prestigeous art events. We closely cooperated with Dr. Aleš Vaupotič from the University of Nova Gorica who is an expert in comparative literature and art. As a result of this cooperation the presented CuCl thin films which were used in water splitting studies received the prestigeous recognition of Majski Salon during 2014.
Outreach activities about the HETMAT published in local Slovenian newspaper called Primorske Novice. The articles explain the objectives and achievements of the HETMAT project and the role of the university within the local community.
